Why I dislike Davido and his music – Fela’s daughter

I don’t think Davido is a good artist, I don’t like him. I’ve never related to his songs because he usually sings about girls, love, money and I’m not interested in that kind of music

Motunrayo, daughter of the late music legend, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, has disclosed that she dislikes popular singer, Davido and his music.

Motunrayo, who spoke with Vanguard, stated that her disdain for the singer grew after an encounter with him at African Shrine.

She said; “Last week, I contacted an Instagram page that has been promoting Davido to post and promote a content I’ve and they said since I’m Fela’s daughter I should pay N20,000. I told them I couldn’t afford N20,000 but N10,000. I later said I would pay N15,000 because I had just N20,000 in my account and I couldn’t exhaust all of it. They made the jest of me saying ‘Oh, Fela’s daughter had only N20,000 in her account’. This is one of the reasons I don’t like him; I’ve never liked him.

“There was a time he also came to Afrikan Shrine and sat on my chair; I told him he was sitting on my chair that I was older than him with more than 8 years, that, he should get up for me.

“I advised him not to think that because he’s Davido he can just come and sit on my chair. He eventually stood up though.”

She further condemned his kind of music, classifying it as crap music.

“I don’t think Davido is a good artist, I don’t like him. I’ve never related to his songs because he usually sings about girls, love, money and I’m not interested in that kind of music.

“ I want music that would give me intelligence, music that would make me feel okay when I’m in a particular situation, not songs that would be telling me about a woman, a gold digger, an expensive shoe, accessory or whatever.

“That’s why I love Nicki Minaj; if you listen to her hardcore songs you’ll get a lot of intelligence from it.”
